Text Chronological Anthology

Pre-historic

In 1986, several people happened together and proceeded to jam
in their Philadelphia cave. Not a group of people getting together
for the purpose of fame and fortune, but rather an experiment in
spirit, mind and body. The spontaneous get-togethers are a
strange thing to try n' explain....

The band of minstrels becomes known as the Electric Slugs. As
Electric Slugs leave glistening trails, the organizational side of
the team formed Glistening Trail Records. After some
rites-of-passage,
the Force became stronger... and Glistening Web Communications
Corporation, whose sole purpose is to help mankind, was formed.

Though the history of the world wide web is muddy,
it appears through the murk that Glistening Trail Records was
the first record company to create internet albums.
On December 24th, 1994 we officially launched the website.
The sights and sounds from that day would go on to form the
foundation... of what has become a surprise success story --
The Christmas Project.

In 1994,
seven albums were released. Their album covers are web addresses.
The music was distributed over the internet, and because of bandwidth
and browser restrictions, made available on
cassette, cd, CDROM, and mini-disc
at low cost or for free.

The concept of the internet album is a bit bizarre... it can change
with the times. The following list contains the original
1994 webpage, as well as the current version:

BONUS ProjectThe Labyrinth From the original 7 projects,
we started educating and collaborating on a conceptual collection
of songs. The idea was quite unique at the time -- an interactive
record album made on the world wide web.

Early in the next year, work started on the multimedia project
Yore
Killin' Me and the sound collection called
Smokin' Blue Grass. Of course,
this works great if you're trying to catch
A Buzz.
Since the amount of memory required to store all
these projects was getting out-of-control, additional CDROM burners
and players were put to work to create a ROM
for on the internet.

Others were catching on to the activity at The
Membrane Domain. Outsiders were welcomed and turned into insiders...
a CDROM Jukebox was turned on...
Pandora's RomBox was born.

It was time for sum sorta scientifical hypothesis at this point.
So-called "Serious Testing" needed to be documented and
Acoustics of the Chaos Theory came to life.
Volume V contains the details of
the study.

The third project undertaken by Glistening Flicks was unwrapped:
Requiem
for the Living Dead. The songs delving deeper into the
"sound of the sound" and "the harshness of reality"
were put together as an Industrial Noize
Pollution project entitled Caustic
Acoustics. The songs delving deeper into the
"meaning of the sound" and the "beauty of reality" were combined
to form The Snake Handling Immortal Tongue Speakers'
RomBox Paradox... and quite
a Pandora's RomBox it is turning out to be.

CDROM's Volume VII,
CDROM 9 and CDROM
10
continued to offer plenty of sound choices, but also evidenced
the increase in multimedia and newmedia projects. Also of note is the increase
in outside artists that are working with us. Miles
To Oz is a living example of what grew out of one weekend during this time
period.

Finally, after having bits and pieces of Christmas stuff scattered about,
we compiled an Internet
Christmas Album. And, do you know what? It's so fun and wacky that
you might as well make every day Christmas... at least, that is what
the rest of the world seems to think. Each day the Christmas
Album is enjoyed by thousands of people
from around the world.

After years in the laboratory,
S.I.D.D.
finally saw the light of day on New Year's Eve. S.I.D.D. is
interactive.

Ygraine,
mother of King Arthur,
is also the mother of MegaEpix Enormous (a multidimensional multimedia
thingie). The cornerstone of the epic is an impromptu performance of
Pink
Floyd's The Wall. There are plenty of hidden gems, as well.
For instance, we started experimenting with "frames in a frame" video.
The cover of the
Moody
Blue's Voices In The Sky is an
example of combining the frames in a frame with a live soundtrack.

MPEG (Motion Picture Expert Group). When we came onto the Internet,
our dream was for the day when the average person could download
MP3 sound and MP4 video. That day has come.

Our first project for 1999 was to start organizing our library of mpeg
files. You can click here to find out more.

To Cause A Change turns out to be a
force to reckon with. In fact, the result was the largest
production in our history. The resulting series of extreme experiments
in multimedia has become known as X Spirit Meants.
The extreme videos have gained such a large
audience that it has turned into the Urban Assault website.

Since so many of our dreams have come true, we thought
it to be our responsibility to share our good fortune. The next
Multimedia series turned into a production called
The Dream Actualization Inquiries.
It is an interactive test set-up to help make your dreams come true.

For July 4th, a new independent collection was celebrated --
Independence
Day. The project helped to solidify our work with
PoliticalAction.com. As it is our mission
to convey universal messages through music, this marked a milestone for
Glistening Trail Records.

On the subject of universal messages, Narley
Marley started giving "Love & Hate" the world beating. After
years of swimming in the roots of Jamaica, Narley started to
sing out on the experience.

In the fall, we got into a real pickle when
Hubris
brought a 110 volt jolt to the studios.

Recently we published a couple of hundred songs, moving over
500 Megs of multimedia
to the internet in a single day. It was a Glistening Trail Record
for both the number of songs and the volume of MP3s. Whew! Dat's alot.

Happy Easter.
It has happened! A dreamer's dream has come true -- we are working
on a project with Peter Gabriel and friends called
KingArthur.com & the Feast
to Benefit Humankind. And, the oddest part is that it resulted
from our Christmas present of Supper's Ready. I guess it just goes
to show: the more you give, the more you shall receive.

So... now what's up?
And, just when you thought you figured out what is up,
things got Stranger.
Perhaps this makes you wonder, "what could possibly be
Next?" Well, if I'm not careful,
it's sure to be a Mess.

Let's forge ahead with the hot rock of
meddleURGEy.
If your soul is still starving for more, here is some
Food
For Thought. Ahh, shucks! Just when we thought we made
it to the big time, we got sent back to
The Farm Team.
The
Medicine Man combines this concoction to create some real
folklore.
Phew! After all this time... after all these songs... it looks like...
enough said.

If you'd like to hear the band play, step right this way for the
big show -- The
Rock Opera, First Mate.
On the other hand, if you don't like crowds you might
want to experience some Spacious
Countryside. In any event, we hope to
Please you.
And, if you are wonder what Is.

2007 was the strangest time we've ever experienced. We went from
the recording studio into the courtroom. Four or five cases were
victorious for civil liberties and human rights. The First
Amendment was challenged in the state of Pennsylvania over some
of these webpages. In each case, our 1st Amendment Constitution
right of free speech was upheld. The cost of freedom was
not cheap. For instance -- the destruction of our recording studios.
So, for the first time ever,
we took the show on the road... literally on the road according
to at least one eye witness. We ended up playing in front of thousands of
people. The infectious music inspired many to break out
in spontaneous dance... the applause... the smiles and cheers. It was good... real good.
